As a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients work through trauma, anxiety, and personal challenges with compassion and expertise. I have a deep commitment to creating an affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals, women, and those experiencing stress, shame, and attachment-related concerns.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in understanding the unique experiences of each person, with particular sensitivity to immigrant experiences, neurodiversity, and posttraumatic stress. I strive to provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and develop resilience.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I work collaboratively with clients to address a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. My goal is to empower individuals to understand themselves more deeply and create meaningful, positive changes in their lives.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
